 Fixing a TextBox Size i'm using textboxes to mark some places on the map customizing the text. I use: Code: tbox = Shapes.AddTextbox(Location, 1, 1); Code: tBox.Width = getWidthByString(textToDisplay); Code: private int getWidthByString(string name)
{
int w = 0;
foreach (char c in name)
{
if (Char.IsLower(c)) { w += 11; }
if (Char.IsUpper(c)) { w += 12; }
}
return w;
}

Hi, The text is proportional font. A lot of characters are the same size, but for the smaller and larger ones you have to put a case statement in your width calculation routine. I think the most easy is to make a textbox with all characters in it. Then copy the map with textbox to clipboard, then paste it in your favourite picture editor and zoom it in and count the pixels for each character.
